Executive Management

Before being named President and CEO, Eric Fuller served for five years as U.S. Xpress’ President and COO responsible for operations including OTR, Dedicated services, customer service and planning. As Max Fuller’s oldest son, Eric has had the unique opportunity to gain a detailed understanding of U.S. Xpress from the inside out. He is particularly attuned to the day-to-day challenges our employees face, because he has worked in a wide variety of roles across the company for nearly 20 years. His experience ranges from process engineer to regional operations manager to senior vice president of operations. Also, like his father, he is especially adept at inspiring people at all levels to innovate solutions for our customers and our company.

With more than 30 years of experience in the transportation industry, Mr. Fuller is widely respected as a true innovator, as evidenced by his award for innovation from the Smithsonian Institute in 2000. In addition to guiding U.S. Xpress to the forefront of the industry, Mr. Fuller has served the community on a number of Boards of Directors and regularly accepts requests to share his insights at speaking engagements—including lending his expertise to presentations to the National Transportation Safety Board and the Department of Transportation.

As a result of Peterson’s proven financial and business acumen, he assumed the role of Chief Financial Officer of U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc. Eric plays a vital role in company transactions and all of U.S. Xpress’ strategic initiatives.
